Getting Your First Intimate Wax

Despite what “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” would have you believe, waxing isn’t the most painful beauty treatment.

Here’s everything you need to know to make your first time go smoothly.

Exfoliate Before You Go In - Before waxing, it’s helpful to exfoliate to rid the skin of dead cells and allow hairs to break through the surface.

You Can Get Waxed While on Your Period - But you’ll probably be more sensitive. Just make sure you use a tampon.

Know You’ll Be in Some Weird Positions - In my experience, each wax technician is different: Some prefer your legs in a diamond so they can switch between sides with each strip to minimise pain in a single area, and others prefer you assume an ostrich-like position (one leg bent, the other straight) so they can work their way inward, which can also minimise pain depending on where you’re sensitive. To access the butt, which also grows some hair, you may be asked to get on all fours, or you might be instructed to assume the Happy Baby position.

Lay Off the Razor - It’s not exactly a rumour that hair can grow back thicker when you shave. Over time, repeated waxing can weaken the hair follicles leading to finer hair. Waxing removes the hair at the root, so as the hair regrows it has a more natural, tapered shape, which leads to the hair feeling thinner. If you keep waxing, your pubic hair’s growth cycle will also begin to harmonize.
Don’t Shower for 24 Hours - Waxing leaves your hair follicle open, leaving it vulnerable to bacteria, so it’s best to wait 24–28 hours after waxing to shower. Skip the tight clothing, too—it can lead to more irritation, and worse, an ingrown.

It’ll Last About 3–4 Weeks - Depending on how quickly your hair grows, you can expect your wax to last about a month.
